    Why do you think you need to convert the key?

    I'm a little confused. Why would Kaspersky tell you you have the wrong key, and that you should secure a new license? Did you purchase your key directly from Kaspersky, or some discount site?

    Did you try to install it on Kav instead of Kis or vice versa. Did it mention the key was blacklisted or did you originally buy this key for version 5.0?......................in which case you will have to swing by support to receive a replacementkey.

    Larry, if this is a key then use notepad to open it see if says...."Kaspersky Personal Security Suite" or "Kaspersky Internet Security Suite"?

    If it's a code then try to convert:https://activation.kaspersky.com/

    If it's a key then rightclick on it and use "Open with".......choose notepad in this case.

    I'll have to try it later as I'm at work now ;-( , but I'm sure we'll figure it out. First off bought this from Kaspersky but it loads as a commercial license, I noticed before I left. BUT it did work on KIS 6 but not 7. If not I'll secure a new license but we'll try the other avenues 1st...

    It's probably because the key you bought was bought when 5.0 was still available and if thats why, then you simply contact support for a new key, but check it when you get home.

    I have the same problem with my key for KAV. It works on version 6 but not for version 7. It isn't due to run out until August of next year. I sent an email to support on it but haven't heard anything back yet. I just used the 30 day trial key so hopefully I hear back by then. If not I will just have to go back to my version 6 of Kav.

    I have the same problem. I did email support and they told me they don't use keys no more that they use activation codes only. The activation code they sent me didn't work. It kept saying "key invalid".

    I'm using the Kiss 7 trial and I deleted the key and then put in the activation and it didn't work.

    I'm waiting to hear back from them. I just tried the Kav forum and I keep getting a error in Opera. It can't reach the forum.

    Larry, the 6.0 suite is called Kaspersky Internet Security Suite, if your key says Kaspersky Personal Security Suite which was the old 5.0 suite, then thats why you can use it on 6.0, but not on 7.0........again just contact support and get a new one.

    no Don I'll repeat It's version 6 bought a 2 license pack back Jan of this year so that's v6 & it says Internet Security Suite US edition but still won't load. I assume there's a glitch, btw never had v5, I waited till 6 came out...& I don't see an upgrade price on the kaspersky web page & not ready to play another 119 to get 2 license...

    ...................& i repeat contact support for a new key. You don't have to buy new keys! Can we now stay in the thread you have also opened at the Kaspersky forum? :)

    I just visited the Kaspersky forum looks like folks in the US that have license & keys for v6 are not working. You'll have to apply for new one & hope it works. I really don't know how you release software like this & have this kind of issue. I'm sure the tech staff is a bit busy right now...
